Release of Version 0.7

apt-got[1] finally released version 0.7 of the StandAloneAptGot[2].
0.7 is a major feature enhancement. A lot changed under the hood of the downloading part of the DebianMirrorModule.
The situation in 0.6 was: If a file was not downloaded locally yet, all data delivery to the clients had to block until the download from the remote server was finished. This could create major delays (eg in case of kernel images)
NOW every byte that gets downloaded is send to all interested clients concurrently.

There are some additional minor bugfixes.
